It's not solely the result of an address-to-name resolution problem, as
it shows up even if address-to-name resolution for network names is
disabled.

I.e., "ip6_to_str()" isn't working correctly on Windows.

"ip6_to_str()" just calls "inet_ntop.c", which does a "switch" on the
first argument.  I seem to remember seeing complaints about AF_INET6
being redefined, so perhaps we're defining it ourselves in a header
included by one of "epan/inet_ntop.c" and "epan/to_str.c" but not by
both of them, so they're using different values for AF_INET6.
